Lost in Austen
Lost in Austen
Anyone watched this? I have been watching it when I get the chance. I have one episode left to watch. It is a bit of fun! I like Alex Kingston and Hugh Bonneville as the Bennetts.

Yep, I saw it earlier this month- t was played in two episodes over consecutive nights. I mentioned on the movie thread, so I'll just cheat and repeat what I said on the 2nd of Jan 
"Lost in Austen" - an entertaining piece of fluff. Premise - Elizabeth Bennet changes places with Amanda, a modern day Austen fan, who, thrown into the world of "Pride & Prejudice", makes many frantic, doomed efforts to keep the story on track, though events keep conspiring to derail it. There is a HEA ending, but with a twist.
Elliot Cowan does a great job of channelling Mr Darcy as portrayed by Colin Firth in the iconic BBC TV series of "Pride & Prejudice".

I had every intention of trying to watch this, but apparently I didn't notice when it was on. Hopefully it will show on cable or something.
